Having a great day?

The matter in your body makes up less than one trillionth of all the matter on earth,
and the earth makes up less than 1% of all the matter in the solar system. Our star is 1 of 5 billion
in this galaxy, and this galaxy is 1 of 5 million that we know about. If you live to be 100 years old
you will have lived less than one billionth of the age of the universe, and in 5 billion years, assuming
that any sentient beings exists, it is very unlikely that they will have the technology to know that our star,
let alone this planet, ever existed.

Does this make you feel insignificant?

It makes you aware of you own mortality!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed, and it makes me want to make the most of the small bit I've got!
